The agitation of government tele-
graph system is already being agitated
in Congress, a bill looking to that end
having been offered in the Senate. The
enemies of the project are already be-
ginning TO fight the measure. The OBJ
iections that are urged, it seems to us.
can not be compared with the advantages
which the bill would afford TO the pro-
